So I’m doing a blog for my mom’s museum, the Gustav Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms.
I had this awesome idea to do a series of posts on a “Stickley in the blogosphere” theme, connecting to posts on personal blogs talking about trips to the museum. It was pretty successful, I found a lot of people [...]
Isabelle: Auntie Meg, when are you and Uncle Stick going to get married?
Edit: Thanks all. You’re right, the correct response would have been something like “Look, Izzy! A magical fairy princess pony!”
I really resented the vote-with-your-ovaries movement among Hilary supporters. A woman president would be nice, but I found the idea that women are a cohesive voting group who should all pick Hilary based on gender kind of demeaning. Not entirely sure why this bothered me so much, since I go out of my way to [...]
I interviewed for a job at reading center today, and the interviewer hired me to edit her dissertation.
Barbie just introduced me to N., a Stephen King story, about a psychiatrist and his patient, who might be saving the world or just garden-variety insane. The story is intriguing and it’s been turned into a series of short, comic book-style videos (adapted by one of the Eli Stone guys, too). It’s completely addictive, each [...]
I arrived in Raleigh this evening, and as I was sitting at Char’s kitchen table, typing a lovely evocative post about my train journey down from New Jersey, Stick mentioned something about wanting to go eat pork rinds.
Yesterday the folks at King’s Isle gave me permission to post screenshots from Wizard 101. I didn’t post yesterday, because when I logged on to get some nice screens, somehow I ended up fighting trolls instead of taking pictures. Anyway! Here are the adorable stick figures from Wizard 101.
Aren’t they cute? These two are in [...]
I was predisposed to like the new Wizard 101 game. It’s not exactly a secret that I love Harry Potter, and the game promises to be a wizard school MMOPRG. The game is adorable from the first loading screen. They’ve got a Wizard 101 gallery on the website, but it doesn’t do justice to the [...]
The other day, Stick saw my throwing-star picture and called me “the worst ninja ever”. Turns out, I’m not even the worst ninja in Essex county.
CLIFTON — Two “modern day Ninjas” calling themselves Shinobi Warriors on a quest to rid the area of drug users and drug dealers have been put out of business by [...]
My dad: How did you happen to know < the contact info for a local business > ?
Meg: Google. Isn’t that the way we know everything?
My dad: Socrates would hate hearing that.
